Lascar
A lascar was a sailor or militiaman from the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Arab world, British Somaliland, or other land east of the Cape of Good Hope, who was employed on European ships from the 16th century until the middle of the 20th century. Etymology The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' states that the word has two possible derivations: :Either an erroneous European use of Urdu ''lashkar'' army, camp .. or a shortened form of its derivative ''lashkarī'' ..In Portuguese ''c''1600 ''laschar'' occurs in the same sense as ''lasquarim'' , i.e. Indian soldier; this use, from which the current applications are derived, is not recorded in English. The Portuguese adapted this term to "lascarins", meaning Asian militiamen or seamen, from any area east of the Cape of Good Hope, including Indian, Malay, Chinese and Japanese crewmen. The English word "lascarins", now obsolete, referred to Sri Lankans who fought in the colonial army of the Portuguese until the 1930s. The ...

Lascar (volcano)
Lascar is a stratovolcano in Chile within the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, a volcanic arc that spans Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. It is the most active volcano in the region, with records of eruptions going back to 1848. It is composed of two separate cones with several summit craters. The westernmost crater of the eastern cone is presently active. Volcanic activity is characterized by constant release of volcanic gas and occasional vulcanian eruptions. Lascar has been active since at least 56,000 years ago, though some argue for activity beginning 220,000 years ago. The first known activity occurred at the eastern cone and was characterized by lava flows, before shifting to the western cone where lava domes were emplaced. An eruption event known as Piedras Grandes was followed by the large Soncor eruption. A new western edifice was constructed on top of the Soncor vent, during the Holocene activity then shifted again to the eastern edifice and continues there ...

Upper And Lower Lascar Row
Lascar Row is the combined name of two streets between Hollywood Road and Queen's Road Central in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, Upper Lascar Row () and Lok Ku Road (Historically Lower Lascar Row). The immediate area is notable for its antique stalls. Name Although ''摩囉'' is not in the Chinese dictionary, its meaning stems from the English word lascar. Derived from the Persian ''lashkar'' (military camp), it was used by the British to refer to Indian seamen. The word ''摩囉'' comes from "Musselmen", Muslims from the Middle East who traded in China. The name ''row'' derives from the row of houses that served as accommodations for Indian seamen. Other names The Indian community formed a mini market, which provided a place for Indians to trade at ease. Since the 1920s, it gradually developed as a market for a wide range of antiques, including obsolete electronic appliances. It therefore gained the name "Antiques Street", along with the neighbouring Hollywood Road. Cat Street () d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
